‘Lone Wolf’ Production Struggles To Compensate Cast And Crew

The upcoming thriller Lone Wolf finished its shoot in February. Despite this, dozens of crew members still haven’t received their pay. Sources say that production is still roughly $1 million short on payroll.

The film had a budget of $11 million, but somewhere along the way it ended up costing closer to $13 million. While production companies all claim that their commitments have been met, some cast and crew are left wondering where their paycheck is or even if they will receive acknowledgement. According to one crew member:

“There was no wrap party, no thank you at the end, it was all very disappointing. I’ve worked in film for fifteen years and I’ve never experienced this kind of trouble on a shoot. I don’t think these are bad people, I just don’t think the money was there. They were even bringing on executive producers who got acting roles in the film.”

The project also faced issues on set, with SAG even getting involved at one point. “Morale was low among crew given the issues over pay,” says another crew member. “Everyone came to work and gave their all but there were fewer and fewer smiles. We were prepared to down tools every Friday because there were multiple delays in payment. There was clearly something off and we could see the producers scrambling for money.”

This is a very unfortunate turn of events for Lone Wolf. There is no indication as to which way this situation will go, but hopefully cast and crew will receive their dues soon.
